A Lucavi? So the Lucavi again walk among us, killing for their own delight? Ha! A splendid tale! But a lie less fanciful might better persuade.

—Meliadoul

Meliadoul's brother Isilud is killed at Riovanes Castle when their father, the leader of the Knights Templar Folmarv Tengille, transforms into the Lucavi demon Hashmal and goes on a rampage. Not knowing of the Lucavi or that Hashmal had possessed her father, Meliadoul comes to believe Ramza Beoulve, who had been labelled a heretic by the church, had killed her brother. She sets out for revenge, waiting for Ramza on the road to Zeltennia Castle.

Meliadoul confronting Ramza.

When Meliadoul confronts Ramza, he tries to explain the truth, but she won't listen. She attacks, but Ramza and his friends overpower her. Meliadoul vows she would strike at Ramza again and teleports away.

Meliadoul prepares to strike at Ramza again as he approaches Limberry Castle to deal with Marquis Elmdore. Following Ramza into the castle basement, she witnesses Elmdore's transformation into Zalera, one of the Lucavi demons, after the Geminiauracite kept on his person glows. Meliadoul has Zalera admit Folmarv is also possessed by a Lucavi, and, realizing the truth, she helps Ramza defeat him.

Those sins will be atoned for. There shall be no mercy - not even for you.

—Meliadoul towards Cletienne after saving Ramza at Dorter Trade City

Meliadoul joins Ramza, alerting him that his elder brother, Dycedarg Beoulve, has been given the Capricorn stone, and thus may become a host to another Lucavi demon.

On their way to Eagrose Castle, Meliadoul saves Ramza from Cletienne Duroi in the Merchant City of Dorter. Cletienne notices Meliadoul's outfit, and the latter replies that her brother Isilud and herself were used. Ramza and Meliadoul defeat Cletienne together. Before following Folmarv and another Templar, Loffrey, who escapes using teleporation, Meliadoul asks if her father was a Lucavi. Cletienne tells her to see for herself. Meliadoul realizes her father really is possessed.

Meliadoul confronts her father, asking if he killed Isilud, explaining she had learned of the Lucavi and she knows Folmarv is possessed. Folmarv confirms and asks why she is with Ramza. Meliadoul explains the truth of the Lucavi to her father, and Folmarv remarks on her referring to them as monsters. Meliadoul rebels by challenging him, and though Folmarv proves a powerful opponent—backed up by two other Knights Templar, Loffrey and Cletienne—Ramza and Meliadoul prevail. Folmarv escapes with the other two by teleportation, and later raises Ramza's other elder brother, Zalbaag Beoulve, from the dead to distract Ramza long enough to escape. Meliadoul accompanies Ramza on the final stage of his quest to stop the Lucavi leader Ultima's resurrection.

An additional battle in Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions includes Meliadoul confronting Cletienne about her father. Meliadoul fights as an ally, even if the player does not recruit her after the battle with Zalera.

Meliadoul is fought at Free City of Bervenia. She starts at level 35 with 67 Bravery and 68 Faith, and comes equipped with the Defender, Platinum Shield, Platinum Helm, Carabineer Mail, and the ultra-rare Chantage. She has access to the Unyielding Blade command as well as random Squire abilities and a random action ability. The player can steal both the Defender and Chantage, as they are rare and powerful pieces of equipment. Defeating all of the enemies or KO'ing Meliadoul is not required; simply reducing Meliadoul's HP to less than 20% of her Max HP ends the battle.

When fought in the eleventh Rendezvous battle: All-Star Melee, she is 2 levels higher than the highest level deployed unit. She starts with 67 Bravery and 78 Faith. She is in her default Divine Knight class, and equipped with the Defender, a full set of Crystal equipment, and the Septiéme. She has access to the Unyielding Blade and Item commands, as well as the abilities Shirahadori, Attack Boost, and Lifefont.

When fought in the fourteenth Rendezvous battle: Brave Story, she is level 99 and starts with 97 Bravery and 63 Faith. She comes equipped with the Excalibur, Crystal Shield, Circlet, Luminous Robe, and Septiéme. She has access to the Unyielding Blade command, as well as the abilities Counter, Attack Boost, Ignore Elevation, and a random other ability.

A Knight Templar like her brother Isilud, who met a violent end at Riovanes Castle. Meliadoul mistakenly believes Ramza to be responsible for her brother's death, and pursues him doggedly, seeking revenge. Her faith in Ramza is restored when she learns the truth of the Lucavi, and she goes on to fight at his side.
